Novità dall’Europa

Lo European Defence Fund (EDF) ha aperto le call 2024 in scadenza il 5 novembre 2024, stanziando un totale di 1,1 miliardi di euro per favorire l’innovazione e rafforzare il panorama difensivo europeo.

Tutti i bandi sono progettati per affrontare le sfide emergenti della difesa e promuovere l’innovazione in 32 aree tematiche diverse, focalizzate in settori quali la salute, la logistica, i materiali, i sensori e le tecnologie digitali. In particolare, i topic 2024 mirano a finanziare tecnologie disruptive e a sostenere la partecipazione delle PMI. I progetti sono classificati in Research Actions (RA) e Development Actions (DA):
